Just got a brand new unlocked pixel XL yesterday (uk). It's still on February security patch and 7.1.1. Contacted Google support (who aren't really helpful or knowledgeable it seems) and they say it's fine and can take a couple weeks after updates are released but it's been months since 7.1.2 and this is July security we are up to now. The rep also try to say 7.1.2 is beta?.
I just upgraded from Nexus 5x which was right up to date with 7.1.2 and July patch. Is anyone else still on old security and os or is mine not doing something right?
Thanks

We are supposed to have the July security update?? I received mine straight from Google last week on 7.1.2 and june security
Yes, the July update is out now. My pixel actually lost sound after failing to update.
Are you simply waiting for the ota, or are you physically checking? If youre waiting, got settings, phone status, and at the very top should be system updates. Click on it and check for new software.

I think the rep meant it can take up to two weeks after the phone is activated to receive a security update. If your Pixel XL is brand new then it's been sitting in a warehouse with the power off so it wouldn't be up to date when you got it. Mine kept showing that there were no available updates until I rebooted the phone--then all of a sudden the latest update popped up as being available for download. I'm on Project Fi though--if you are on Verizon or another carrier it might take a little longer for the update to hit your phone.
best to manually check, it's the only way I've ever found them, if I know the update is out, I'll normally try the check a couple of times and then the update pops up.

When I got my new Pixel XL I was on an old build of Android and checked manually on and off all day and it never showed an available update which was driving me batty. For some reason I decided to reboot my phone at 1:30 am and the reboot took a really long time which was making me concerned. But when the phone finally booted up I got a message that an update was downloaded and available to install. The update actually downloaded while the phone was rebooting.

might be different if it's already updated as I've had mine since day 1. (was surprised I got it only ordered about a week before launch due to the Note 7 mess up)

Has anyone gotten their April security OTA yet? I received the phone a few weeks ago and flashed the March OTA right away and relocked bootloader afterwards because I did not want to sit through several incremental updates. So I am wondering if something went wrong. Does it usually take this long after a new factory image is released for it to get pushed OTA? Sorry, this is my first Nexus since the Galaxy Nexus/Nexus S days.
I own an italian LG Nexus 5X (32 GB variant) and I have received no April update for my phone till now... still waiting

Sometimes ive gotten then within a week sometimes not for 3 weeks ish. Seems fairly random.
Just read up on sideloading the OTA update via ADB, thats what I do now rather than wait. Doesnt need any bootloader unlocking or anything.
Same here: i suggest you to read this https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/fOAWe8jMRsQ so you'll be more relaxed.
We get it when we get, that's all!
I'm on international variant of the 5x on AT&T here in US and I received the OTA already for April
I've got news!
My Nexus 5X received the OTA tonight at 8.00 PM
Got mine in UK at about 6pm tonight

I'm also waiting for the update to show up.
I'm also based in the UK and got mine already last week. One thing, though: I've noticed that after the update, the location icon will at one point start to show up permanently in the notification bar, and whenever that happens, my battery drains pretty quickly. Only solution I found was to turn off gps/location. Is anyone else also experiencing this?
got mine in ćzech at 13.april
Hi, I purchased this phone about a week ago and have loved it so far. I saw that Android 7 came out a day ago but when I search for updates I get the message that my device is up to date even though it's on 6.0.1. I have not rooted my phone yet (or even unlocked my bootloader), in short I have not messed with my phone yet, it's as it was when it came from the box (except for the OTAs installed).
All I can think the reason for this may be my region since I live in Pakistan. With my previous phone, I used to get the OTAs on time but this is my first nexus phone and I'm a bit disappointed that I'm not getting the update as soon as it is rolled out if that really is the case. Also, does anyone have an idea when I'll get my update?
this is called a staged rollout. it is to ensure the stability of the update servers as well as to grant google a chance to put an update on hold and safe the majority of the trouble, should critical errors come to light during the early phase of a rollout

Oh, so how long should it take given the staged rollout goes well.

i believe up to two wrrks, but don't quote me on that. you could always make use of the beta-program to skip the line as i did. just look through some recent threads here or over at androidpolice

You will get OTA update in first 2 weeks of the month, I always get about 15th day in the month, so don't worry.
How mate said, you can use android beta program, just you will get final update and after upgrade just leave android beta program

I'm on Verizon and I'm in the same boat. I wouldn't sweat it. I'm sure it will come soon, these roll outs are staggered. On my old 6p it seemed I was always about a week or two out before getting the update.
I assume there will have to be an update to the root method before we will be able to obtain root after installing the new build?
Have you tried removing sim, rebooting, and trying to search for update again on WiFi with the sim out? My last phone was an unlocked model and it seemed like Verizon didn't want me to get updates but the above tip worked.

I believe the OTA just came out today.
On other Pure Nexus devices I may not receive the OTA for a few days.
If your not rooted then you just download the system image from the google developer site. Take out the -W command to wipe device and you will be fully updated.
because your pixel is not l33t
The update states that it could take time for the update to become available in each location...
You can side load the ota with fastboot. That's what I did and Im on Verizon.
Updates typically roll out over the course of a couple of weeks. Be patient or sideload the OTA yourself
the thing is that i got my pixel straight from google and my friend who lives in the same area got his pixel from verizon and already has his update. My father's 1 year old nexus 6p already has the update as well clearly google does not have their priorities straight.

Most likely gets rolled out by production number or something. Your buddy's phone was probably made before yours, and your father must've purchased his Nexus 6P right when it was released. Like someone else said, these things take time anyways. Be patient or take the time to sideload the OTA yourself.

Funny my Pixel C got the update yesterday.
I had a strange issue - I hit "Check for Update" and my device began downloading the 263MB update. Once finished downloading, it went to step 2, however it never moved past Step 2. A restart didn't fix the issue. Anything I can do? I'd obviously still would like the update despite whatever strange bug this is. This is a Google Store bought Pixel, on T-Mobile.
Project Fi phone on "V" image.
So yesterday I restored to stock V image.
Wiped everything.
Installed factory V.
Didn't root, kernel or install TWRP.
Nada.
Then checked every hour or so for the O update.
Nothing.
Here I am, 24 hours and still no update available.
So I tried turning off WiFi.
Rebooted.
Waited 20 minutes and then checked and found an update.
Could just be coincidence or maybe enabling data (turning off WiFi) somehow triggered the update as being available.
Did anyone else get updated, my phone is not rooted or unlocked. so far update looks sleek, need to explore a lot.
enjoy all.

Mine is updating now but stated "security update will install?"
Looks like the N920AUCS4EQG1 update Nobarb found for all of us and referenced as unreleased a little bit back. (Thank you once again, Nobarb for all your hard work!!)
Probably just another security update. With the S8, S8+ and now the Note 8 forthcoming I can't imagine Samsung throwing us any more bones for our good old Note 5.

My apologies...I may have misunderstood what you were talking about. I just got an update yesterday and it was the QG1 update which brings in the July 1, 2017 update.
If you are not fully up to that build, keep trying for an update. You might try manually pushing your clock ahead a day if it is restricting you by the time limit.
I also received this new update and installed it. No difference in battery life or performance whatsoever... Just security updates.
Ever since my phone was updated to Nougat, it has been randomly rebooting (sometimes once a week and sometimes twice in 10 minutes). I can still use it fine but I'm honestly getting tired of finding it stuck at the "Enter PIN" (encrypted phone) screen after restarting. So I'm missing important calls without even realizing it when the phone is in my pocket. Anybody else seeing this? Suggestions welcome.
I did a cache wipe at least 10 times now and that didn't help. Don't wish to do a factory reset... It's a pain to setup android the way I like.
Thanks for any help guys.
someone can give me firmware N920AUCS4EQG1, im out side US,pls!
Figured I'd post this since it seems to have changed a few things.
Today I got an update notification and the size seemed a bit large (~900 MB). I kinda was hoping it would be a surprise Pie update, but alas it is not. Still 8.0.0 oreo, but there are a few new things I noticed.
Calling Plus is no more. Appears to be replaced with VoLTE capabilities. Phone tried registering on the network, but I got an error. Regular calling seems to be fine.
Always on Display is different now. Similar functionality, but fewer options.

I know you're probably joking, but PIE is not going to show up as some random update. It's going to Korea carrier variants first. Maybe Q1 2019. Then everyone else. PROBABLY Q2 2019.
We will have plenty of notice about Pie, when it starts happening.

In any case, functionality has changed a bit. Just a heads up.
After update phone no longer has lte. Stays on 3g. Not sure why or how to fix it. Reset networks, Rebooted, updated prl and profile but nothing has fixed it so far.

Sometimes updates create issues on a phone running stable and fine with current rom and we wonder why we updated?
I bought this phone a month ago (living in India) and I find that phone is running absolutely fine, with great battery life and no issues whatsoever with August security update.
Now -- may be I will update to new update (whenever released for India phones) only after couple of weeks after going through feedback from users who updated.
I have read that lg v30 is part of google enterprise recommended which need to be regularly updated every 90 days for atleast security patch. I am from india and i got last update at end of august but till i am posting this message i didn't got any update which shows avery pathetic promise breach. Which not good for brand like lg i didn't expect from lg???

Don't be concerned on not receiving update. From what I am reading on some other threads for V30+ -- believe me, you are saved from issues in new updates released in other parts of the world for our phone. Phone is running absolutely fine with last update. We should wait for an update which will not give us any performance issues.
